Looking for some free MLB parlay picks and high-quality analysis? You’re in the right spot! Our Props.com analysts will be dropping plenty of our best MLB parlays and bets throughout the season.
To spice things up even more, the evolution of same game parlays (and same game parlays plus) over the years has allowed us to combine multiple props from different games.
Correlation is one key prop betting strategy. For example, if we have a serious conviction behind fading a pair of pitchers from separate games on a given day, we can back multiple hitting props from two separate teams batting against them.
Lottery or “lotto” parlays are fun, but they can be reckless. Let’s find some favorable spots to garner a nice, rational return on investment today.

Best MLB Parlays & Pick’Em Plays Today: Friday, July 4
Play today’s 3-pick slip for a 6x return at Underdog Fantasy!
- Quinn Priester Lower Than 4.5 Strikeouts
- Colin Rea Lower Than 3.5 Strikeouts
- Riley Greene Higher Than 7.5 Fantasy Points
MLB Pick’em Play: Quinn Priester
Priester was a long-time Pittsburgh prospect who may have finally been unlocked by the Brewers. While I still have my doubts because he doesn’t get many whiffs or chases, his xERA and xBA are both pretty good this season.
That being said, back to the swing-and-miss issues, he ranks 38th percentile in whiff rate and 27th percentile in chase rate, neither is remotely close to being league average. Priester is striking out just 18% of hitters, and just 16% of right-handed hitters, which he is expected to see six of today.
The Marlins are suddenly a pretty pesky lineup, sporting six hitters with 20% strikeout rates or better this season. That’s pretty stingy, and I’ll side with the Fish in this matchup.
MLB Pick’em Play: Colin Rea
Respectfully, Rea is one of the worst starting pitchers in baseball. His xERA, xBA, whiff rate, strikeout rate, and average exit velocity rank no better than the 12th percentile in their respective categories.
I’m not surprised to see a measly single-digit swinging-strike rate, and although the bottom of the STL lineup is prone to striking out a bit, Rea is still a fade for me. There are still five Cardinals in the projected lineup who are striking out 20% of the time or less this season.
MLB Pick’em Play: Riley Greene
If Aaron Judge or Cal Raleigh didn’t exist, we might be talking about Greene as a legitimate MVP candidate. The Tigers’ lefty is having an unbelievable season, and he mashes right-handed pitching.
Greene owns an absurd .439 ISO and 28% barrel rate vs. RHP in the last 30 days, while Cecconi is yielding a 17% barrel rate vs. RHB this year.
Best MLB Parlays & Pick’Em Plays Today: Thursday, July 3
Today’s 3-leg parlay (+678 odds) can be bet on FanDuel Sportsbook!
- Brandon Walter Over 4.5 Strikeouts
- Clarke Schmidt Under 4.5 Strikeouts
- David Peterson Under 4.5 Strikeouts
MLB Parlay Pick: Brandon Walter
Walter has had an up-and-down 2025, but one thing certain is that he is much better against right-handed hitters compared to lefties. Walter is punching out just 18% of lefties but 26% of RHB so far in 2025, and his under-the-hood stuff, such as whiff rate and swinging-strike rate, support those splits.
The Rockies have been much better vs. southpaws compared to RHP, as their projected starting lineup owns a stingy 21% strikeout rate against them this season. However, eight of those projected starters are right-handed, so getting this leg of the parlay at nearly even money (or plus money) is worth a gamble.
MLB Parlay Pick: Clarke Schmidt
This is kind of the exact opposite situation that Walter is dealing with today. I do think Schmidt is eventually due for some positive regression against right-handed hitters, as his K% vs. RHB is fairly low, but his underlying metrics are pretty good in that split, suggesting he will eventually strike out more righties.
That being said, this isn’t the matchup to bank on that, as the Blue Jays are the worst matchup in the league when hunting for strikeouts at a league-low 17.6% against RHP this season. Tough matchup to try and hit five in today.
MLB Parlay Pick: David Peterson
Peterson’s u4.5 line is another number you can get at plus money, which helps give this parlay nice odds. Peterson is striking out an elite 30% of lefties this season but just 18% of right-handed batters.
Milwaukee is projected to roll out six right-handed hitters against Peterson, which makes this a tough draw. Sal Frelick is one of the few lefties, but he owns an elite 13% strikeout rate vs. RHP this season. Peterson won’t have much wiggle room to play with today.
Best MLB Parlays & Pick’Em Plays Today: Wednesday, July 2
Today’s 3-leg parlay can be bet on FanDuel Sportsbook!
- Hunter Brown Over 6.5 Strikeouts
- Jack Flaherty Under 5.5 Strikeouts
- Austin Hays 2+ Total Bases
MLB Parlay Pick: Hunter Brown
Brown is striking out 34% of lefties and 29% of righties this season. I will say, his advanced-whiff-stuff (generally speaking) is much better vs. LHB compared to RHB. I’m worried that there could be a bit of regression in his strikeout rate vs. righties at some point.
The Rockies are projected to send out seven RHB on Wednesday, which normally wouldn’t make me feel all warm and fuzzy – but it’s the Rockies. I can’t disregard the six hitters with K rates north of 26% vs. RHP this season, while Mike Toglia and Ryan Ritter are striking out over 40% (!!) of the time against them.
Temps are warm at Coors, which makes it a little scary that Brown could get rocked. But this Rox team has so much upside (or downside, depending on what side of the bill you’re on), especially with Toglia and Ritter, to strike out in bunches.
MLB Parlay Pick: Jack Flaherty
Although Flaherty’s strikeout rate is a very solid 24% vs. lefties this season, it’s 7% lower than his K% vs. RHB, and his advanced metrics support those differences.
Washington has a ton of pesky left-handed hitters, and it should be a grind for Flaherty to get to six Ks today. Seven projected WAS starters are striking out 21% of the time or less against right-handed pitchers this year.
The Nats are projected to send out seven lefties today, and Flaherty is also walking them at a 14% clip, so there are multiple paths for him to fail reaching six strikeouts on Wednesday.
MLB Parlay Pick: Austin Hays
There should be some good hitting weather in Boston, and Richard Fitts is someone to attack. That’s especially true for right-handed hitters, as Fitts is yielding a massive .340 ISO and 19% barrel rate to them.
Hays has been an awesome reverse-splits hitter this season, sporting a .237 ISO and .340 wOBA against right-handed pitching. He’s been swinging a hot stick lately, and I think he can do some damage today.

What is a Parlay?
A parlay is a type of sports bet where you combine multiple individual bets (called “legs”) into one single wager.
The kicker? All of your picks must win, but if they do, you’ll receive a big payday at great odds. However, if one of your picks doesn’t win, the wager is lost.
What is a Same Game Parlay?
A same game parlay (“SGP” for short) is a newer type of parlay where all your bets are from the same event. Instead of betting on multiple different games, you’re combining different types of bets within one game.
For example, if you’re betting on football, you could bet on rushing, passing, and receiving props from either team. Just like a traditional parlay, all of your picks must win, or it’s a lost bet.
MLB Parlay & Same Game Parlay Tips
Check multiple sportsbooks for the best odds. It’s just like shopping, and each platform values the same bets differently.
It also helps to look for any correlation between picks. For baseball, if you like the hitters on team A, you’d likely also believe the pitcher on team B is in for a rough outing.
For football, if you think Patrick Mahomes is going to have a great game, one of his receivers would likely have to do the same.
Where to Play DFS Pick’em
Did you know you can combine player picks, which is very similar to parlays at traditional sportsbooks at Underdog and Sleeper?
Both platforms allow users to predict whether a player will score more (or higher than) or less (or lower than) their statistical projection. Underdog and Sleeper offer a wide range of sports to pick from, including fun, niche markets that traditional sportsbooks may not offer.
Users can pick between 2-8 projections on Sleeper for a chance to win up to 1000x their entry fee. Underdog is similar and also offers a fun format called “Streaks”, which allows users a chance at big money for 11 correct picks in a row after winning an initial 2-pick slip.
